DAMMIT! I hate the new series of gap ads! Man, those little kids think they're all cool and stuff, but I got news for them, they're not! Jeez, and the gap, what the hell, their clothes suck, and are ugly, and cost too much. The gap is so damn mainstream. ARGH
SO MUCH ANGER
ok, so the old gap ads were way cooler, with like, chemical brothers. But then they were all like little preps with khakis on singing stupid old songs!
Man, if I knew them, I'd so kick their ass and take all the money they got for doing those ads.

that feels better
thanks

Yeah, those new Gap Kids ads are really bad. At least the old ones had some cool stuff in it... like I think there was a skateboarding one for Gap Cargos that at least had a few seconds of eye candy...

On top of that, those kids can't sing worth shit... I've heard my 10 year old cousin sing better than them...

I wish we had commercials like they have in Europe over here. I went to a "greatest commercials of the year" festival with my brother last year, and it had like 1.5 hours of the best commercials from around the world. Some of them were absolutely awesome... of course, 95\% were from Germany, Scandanavia, etc., and would be considered far too offensive for TV audiences over here.

In a semi-related note, I was reading on the Reebok website about those "Survivor-related" commercials they have with the two dumb guys getting into trouble... (like the one with the snakebite)... anyway, they had another one that CBS didn't want to show because they thought it was too offensive. You can watch it on the reebok website. They piss into these empty bottles and then drink it to try to cure their dehydration. It's kinda funny.

well the song in its original format is so much better, but the way those kids sing it, its flat as the prepubescent girls singing it. but, like i said, the original version rocks completely.

The GAP sucks!!!! The only reason it is still around is that it is "trendy", ie, the sell really exspensive shit, therefore it must be better. Even though the only different between a sweater bought at the GAP and Kmart is that the GAP one has GAP on the front. And it's three times more expensive. The GAP must die and take all the trendy people who made GAP popular!!!!

I feel better now.

first off, gap shit is not nearly as expensive as abercrombie shit or structure shit. personally, i kind of dont care, my mom buys my shit for now, and until she stops i plan on exploiting this by buying some of that overpriced crap. accept not from gap becaue they piss me off. their old commercials kicked madd ass. the new ones with the flaming anal-raped kids jumping around singing old crappy songs in a new crappier way just makes me pissed enough to find where they all live and strangle them with an old gap shirt i baught 2 years ago.

Or how about the one with Everclear singing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"? That was a pretty good one too.

c'mon you guys what the hell is a structure. i want a fuckin' answer. Rol3x you posted it tell me
Posted by kuru on Aug. 31 2000,10:15
oh boy.. structure... that sounds like one of those trendy names for some store where they sell clothes designed to look like yuppie america and fit 4 year olds.

i wish i could spend ๠ on a t-shirt that'd be too small for even my cat to wear. yeah. um... all these commercials for those dens of preppie materialist crap remind me of two things. i'm glad i do my shopping online, and that i don't watch tv.

ok Structure. you know whar abercrombie and fitch is, dont you? its like a slightly, well maybe not, less expensive version, though still over priced, and its the kind of store that if a chick asks u where u got ur shirt, and u say structure, if they know what it is, they could be impressed, same deal as abercrombie. sorry it took so long, read my "parents suck...." post, it explains why. and as for the shirts being 80$# and not fighting my dog, they arent that much, and they fit me just fine. those funny numbers of symbols are supposed to help you figure out the very tough and demanding mathmatical equation which, if done right, will allow you to purchase a correctly sized shirt or peice of apparel.
